    When you know the dimensions of the legs of a right triangle but not the tangent of the angle opposite the height, you have to utilize the formula “height = tangent(ϴ) * width”.

    Its the HAWK TUAH rule.

    • Height
    • And
    • Width
    • Known,
    • Tangent
    • Unknown,
    • Apply
    • H / W = tan(ϴ)
